You may have noticed a conspicuous lack of painting updates lately..... that's mostly because I haven't painted anything in a while. I've started a new stage of life (running a business) and I've been enjoying boardgaming and playing computer games.

I just haven't felt much like writing. However, my partner and I decided that we were going to pick up the old Arkham Horror challenge we started a few years ago. The Challenge is as follows.

CHALLENGE RULES

The Scoreboard

Defeat all 25 Old ones once

Investigators stay dead if they die. If we run out of investigators, we lose.

If we team wipe vs an Old One, we have to face them again.

The difficulty of the game increases as we succeed. If we lose a lot of investigators, the difficulty will relax.

We must play against each expansion three times.

We must face each heralds twice and use each Guardian/Institution twice

Characters keep some gear/statuses between games. (Based on how many games they have played, and their starting gear)

Character stories are used

All games reported to Arkham horror Stats (http://community.fantasyflightgames.com/index.php?/topic/4731-arkham-horror-statistics-reports/)

Game one

6 Seals, BOOM!

This was easy to setup as we had played the scenario with one of my gaming groups earlier in the week. First up, on easy difficulty, we took on Nyraleothep, with Curse of the Dark Pharaoh, using the Dark Pharaoh Herald.

It was pretty much a cake walk as the bonus clues from easy difficulty meant there were always clues to burn.
